I'm not sure that's a very wise tradeoff by Gizmodo. I think it's pretty clear this belongs to Apple, it's just not entirely clear if it's an accurate representation of the 4G iPhone.

Even so, couldn't Apple drag their feet and not actually confirm it's theirs until two months from now when they unveil it, and then sue the pants off of Gizmodo?

24 hours ago we all thought it was a fake, so it's not "clearly Apple's". Until Apple claims it, it's not theirs. Could Gizmodo call and say: "hey we think this is yours, if so, let us know, and well give it back" sure, they could and probably will.

Yeah, Gizmodo might get sued, they know this. Gawker takes risks like this and it's worth it to them.
